Mie Resonances, Infrared Emission, and the Band Gap of InN

Abstract: Mie resonances due to scattering or absorption of light in InN-containing clusters of metallic In may have been erroneously interpreted as the infrared band gap absorption in tens of papers. Here we show by direct thermally detected optical absorption measurements that the true band gap of InN is markedly wider than the currently accepted 0.7 eV. Microcathodoluminescence studies complemented by the imaging of metallic In have shown that bright infrared emission at 0.7-0.8 eV arises in a close vicinity of In in… Show more

“…Other approaches such as the analysis of emission enhancement must be considered only as supporting. The accelerated dynamics has been previously observed by time-resolved photoluminescence ͑PL͒ spectroscopy in several metal-semiconductor structures, 5,6,11,13,14 but not in the nanocomposites with buried MNPs, although the emission enhancement near MNPs in InN epilayers 7,15 was suggestive of this effect.…”

“…Indium nitride, like its lighter homologues, is an intriguing semiconducting material. Although, up to know research efforts are hindered by indium metal incorporations in as-grown InN, produced by decomposition of the thermodynamic instable InN, especially at temperatures above 723 K [204]. Similar structural defects provoked by formation of In particles are encountered in In x Ga 1−x N solid solutions (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5) [205], which are currently used in light-emitting and laser diodes.…”

“…There have been also a number of reports which argue for the bandgap values in the range from 1.2 to 1.5 eV [8,9]. It should be noted however that all InN and In-rich InGaN films are n-type as grown, with electron concentrations ranging from mid 10 17 to high 10 20 cm -3 .…”
